Mietwagen Altstadt Korčula – Treffpunkt am Katamaran-Dock

Korčula Town is one of the crown jewels of the Adriatic — a perfectly preserved medieval walled city rising from a small peninsula on the northern coast of Korčula island, often referred to as "Little Dubrovnik" for its remarkable similarity to its more famous neighbour. The town's distinctive herringbone street layout was designed by medieval architects to channel the cooling maestral wind through the upper streets while blocking the cold bura in the lower lanes.

The town harbour (Gradska Luka) handles passenger ferries connecting Korčula to Split, Dubrovnik, and the island of Hvar, as well as local services to the Pelješac Peninsula. Our Avax meet-and-greet service at Korčula City Port allows guests arriving by ferry or staying in the Old Town area to collect their vehicle directly at the harbour, without travelling to the Dominče car ferry port 3 km away.

Note that while Korčula Old Town itself is best explored on foot, a rental car is invaluable for accessing the rest of the island — the vineyards around Lumbarda (6 km), the prehistoric Vela Spila cave above Vela Luka (35 km), the quiet coves along the south coast, and the panoramic viewpoint of Sveti Ilija hill (28 km). The island has excellent Pošip and Grk white wines waiting to be discovered at family wineries throughout the interior.
